Harvest Trail

08/01/2026

After much thought, it's time to share some exciting news.

Harvest Trail Cottage Bakery has officially moved to the Barnesville area! As part of this transition, we will no longer be selling our bread at the Dutton Cattle Co. Beef Store.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire Dutton Cattle Co. team, and especially to Bill Koscoe, for giving Harvest Trail the opportunity to be part of the store's grand opening. Your support helped us grow, introduced our bread to so many wonderful customers, and gave us a place to begin this journey. We will always be grateful.

While it's bittersweet to leave the Beef Store and The Pike 40 area, we're excited for this next chapter. We look forward to bringing our handcrafted, high-quality bread to Barnesville and the surrounding communities in the near future.

To help make the move and get everything set up, we'll be taking a short break from baking. Our goal is to be back in the kitchen and serving fresh bread around the middle of August.

Stay tuned for updates as we settle into our new home, and thank you for being part of the Harvest Trail journey. Your encouragement and support have meant more than you know, and we can't wait to share what's next!

Many of you know I've had to take a short break from baking while I recover from a shoulder injury. Even though I can't be in the kitchen right now, I still wanted to give back.

Today I was honored to sponsor a local family through Heart of Belmont County. Every child deserves to start the school year with confidence, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to help.

If you're able, I encourage you to consider sponsoring a local child or family. Together, we can make a difference right here in Belmont County. ❤️

Friends,

I wanted to let everyone know that I recently injured my shoulder and, unfortunately, I'll need to take a short break from baking while it heals.

Harvest Trail has always been about making quality bread by hand, and right now my body needs a little time to recover. I appreciate everyone's understanding, support, and patience during this time.

I'll keep everyone updated and look forward to firing up the ovens again as soon as I'm able.

Thank you all for supporting Harvest Trail Cottage Bakery. It truly means a lot.

Harvest Trail would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Amanda Wharton, Angell Stone Nichols, and everyone at Epworth Park Chautauqua Homecoming Days for inviting us to be part of such a wonderful event.

We are incredibly grateful for the warm welcome and the overwhelming support from everyone who stopped by our booth. Thanks to all of you, we sold out in just a few hours! It means so much to see so many people excited about our fresh-baked breads and Harvest Honeybuns.

Thank you to everyone who purchased from us, stopped to chat, or simply came by to learn more about Harvest Trail. Your support of our small, local cottage bakery truly means the world to us.

We look forward to seeing everyone again at a future event. Thank you for making this such a memorable and successful day!

This hot weather gave us the perfect window to harvest Harvest Trail’s very own grains!

We are so proud to share that this wheat was grown right here on our property to one day be used in Harvest Trail breads, and we have officially completed our very first harvest. This moment is especially meaningful because it represents the culmination of over 8 months of preparation, care, and hard work to bring this wheat to this point.

From planting the seed, to watching it grow, to now bringing in the harvest, it has been a special journey. There is something deeply rewarding about raising grains on our own homestead that will eventually make their way from the field, to the mill, to the dough, and finally to your table.

Stay tuned for future updates from Harvest Trail on when these homegrown grains will begin to be incorporated into our breads, along with other fun and exciting happenings here on the Harvest Trail Homestead.

Real bread. Real ingredients. Real local.
